  1. Would be interested in clubs/permissions around Dartmoor also.
  2. I’m moving to Totnes and am having to give up my rough shooting club in doing so. I would love to find something similar locally if anyone knows of any?
  3. So can my gun shoot HP steel or not? Is a miroku mk60 suitable for 1350 bar loads. Thanks rob, hopefully someone will know if there are manufacturing or material differences in the guns between those proofed and those not.
  4. What are you confused about? My gun isn’t HP steel stamped. I’m asking if HP is safe in my Gun. Miroku didn’t proof the Mk60s the same as it doesn’t with tightly chocked mk38s as steel proofing costs cash and you can’t shoot it through tightly chocked guns to start with. But I can’t imagine they have one manufacturing line for lead proof and one for steel. So with my chokes opened, I presume they are one and the same and it is perfectly safe, but I am asking here for expert opinion and clarity.
  5. I’m not really, just checking whether I’m good to go once lead is phased out.
  6. Thanks for your post, yes I’m familiar with the difference in pressure. My gun won’t have been stamped as it started life with more restricted chokes not suitable for HP steel proofing.
  7. Hello, I’ve got a 20g MK60 bored out to a 1/4 and 1/2. Having started life tighter choked it doesn’t have the correct proof marks, but are the components and materials used safe for HP steel regardless? I can’t find an email address for miroku anywhere or would have asked directly.
  8. I’ve got one, exactly the same as my other m2 except better looking.
  9. Are you able to drive a particular distance to go shooting also?
  10. Incase anyones got a used one laying about!
  11. Looks like the 'raised' may be an american only thing according to GMK - just the standard and extra high available in the UK. Annoying as I bought the gun knowing I need a high comb and assumed I could get it!
  12. I definitely want the proper benellil one. They are normally 55-65 from local shops but they can’t get the ‘raised’ one!
  13. Thanks, that’s more than twice the price they normally retail for.
  14. Hi All, I'm having trouble sourcing one of these - GMK are not helping saying they can't get one. There are 3 sizes - standard, raised, and extra high. Raised is what I need, but seems impossible to find. Any thoughts? Thanks!
  15. Does anyone have one please?
  16. Looking for a small friendly syndicate in or near the Chew Valley Somerset
  17. Thanks all, I'm going to try and get a variety of carts to pattern. I'll try the light and slow stuff as a priority.
  18. Perhaps! But regardless they come down more often for me with 5’s and I do the same thing. So empirical evidence suggests otherwise. Very few offerings than are 23/24g and 7. Black gold start at 30g...
  19. I’d love a denser pattern but all my shooting is walked up wild birds and I find I need 5s to do the job well when shooting them from behind
